    Kids. Something like a dumb phone.

    But for that use I just don’t understand the keypad. It’s completely unnecessary. Make the same thing without the keypad and I might buy one for my kid.

      I feel like if my kid was the age that needed this sort of distraction free phone, I’m not spending $250 on it. $100 would likely be my cutoff.

      As it is, my teenager has a used iPhone SE I only paid $150 for. (She’s super anti-social network so I don’t really feel bad as she doesn’t spend that much time on it.)
